Are ear lobs that are attached dominant or recessive?

It was said earlier that, "Unattached earlobes are the dominant trait, twice as many people have unattached earlobes compared to attached." There is not actually any real proof that unattached earlobes are dominant. While more people may have unattached earlobes, attached earlobes are dominant. This was proved in a pedigree which covered three generations of extended families.


What genes are recessive traits?

These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.


Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive and the allele for detached earlobes is dominant. What must be true is a boy is born with attached earlobes?

Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?

if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)


What ratio of genotypes and phenotypes are found after two heterozygous indivividual are crossed for a trait of earlobes?

Genotypes (phenotype) 25% homozygous dominant (free earlobes) 25% homozygous recessive (attached earlobes) 50% heterozygous (free earlobes) 75% phenotypically dominant (free earlobes) 25% phenotyically recessive (attached earlobes) Ratios Genotype 1:1:2 Phenotype 3:1


How do you know if the recessive gene will be the recessive in the offspring?

If the recessive gene is present in both of the parents.


What is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when an individual with attached earlobes mates with an individual heterozygous for free earlobes?

Attached earlobes are a recessive trait. When one parent has attached earlobes and the other is heterozygous for free earlobes, the chances of any particular offspring having attached earlobes is fifty percent.


A gene is recessive when?

Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
